The Tegu treatment plant, which belongs to the Tekangu cooperative, is a very successful processing plant in Nyeri, where 900 small farmers pick and select red cherries by hand and send them to the processing plant. Raw beans are divided into three grades, and the first two grades are processed and fermented respectively. Local small farmers send the picked cherries to excellent processing plants, which in turn get more compensation, and about 90% of them will be given back to farmers. In recent years, the processing plant has returned more than 85% of the excellent remuneration and net profit to small farmers, and according to the quality tested by the cup, the price can always exceed the market price. Over the years, they have proved that they can maintain good quality and product traceability. In Kenya's traditional auction market, quality often depends on price, and for producers and consumers, it is the method of sustainable operation.
